    Calling pump/hydraulics gurus

    Would a PureLine 1.5 HP, PL1507, be too much pump for my system? I'm looking for a cheap two-speed pump, but everything seems super oversized for my setup. I have no problem running on low speed 99% of the time, so long as nothing will break if it's flipped to high speed for some reason. One...

    Thinking of going SWCG - downsides?

    With chlorine supply and demand being what they are this year, I'm somewhat concerned about having access to suitable chlorine sources on time throughout the season. For that reason (primarily), I'm toying with the idea of SWCG. Current setup has a single 110 outlet (not a duplex), with a...

    Stuck impeller, and sand in pressure gauge

    My pressure gauge has gone bad, and has sand in it. How do I prevent this from happening again when I replace the gauge? I'm trying to replace the seal on the pump. It's been leaking all season - I only recently learned how bad a little dribble could be for the motor. I'm trying to take it...

    Draining goof - now chemistry questions

    Got the chemicals just right, leaves out, put hoses in to siphon. Made sure the pool ends of the hoses were at my target water level. I did not account for gravity straightening out the hoses as water level dropped. I returned 16 hours later to a foot or less of water in the pool, and siphon...

    Air leak? Cavitation??

    I constantly (except once) have air in the pump. Not a lot, no visible bubbles coming from the return but it may be causing my foam. I can also hear some air in the filter. Everything seems to be functioning so I haven't worried about it. When I added the vacuum plate and hose, filter pressure...

    Starting with a swamp - order of operations?

    I've taken responsibility for a pool that has been neglected for three years. Not winterized, not covered, nothing. It's a swamp, to put it nicely. Started with visibility of 3 inches. Pump/filter are almost rehabbed. K-2006 is on its way. I have new strips (I know) and old reagents (I know) in...

    Leaking filter. Okay, more like gushing

    I have taken over responsibility for a pool that's been neglected for three years. Not winterized at all, not covered, nothing. Needless to say there have been a few parts that I've replaced due to freeze damage. Filter is a Hayward S166T Vari-Flo. I already replaced the key+gasket because it...
